I've been trying to get off of Spotify for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to spend on a Deezer or Tidal subscription, which is required to listen to more than 30 seconds of a song. I also have an extremely large playlist that needs transferring, so I need an unlimited version of FreeYourMusic if it exists. Thanks! Edit: Thanks for all the replies and advice! Unfortunately, I'm too stupid for almost all of it, but I appreciate it anyways. The solution I went with is using Newpipe on Android and a Spotify adblocker called Blockify on pc. Have a good day!

Shazam app with youtube.com plus ezmp3.cc

Long answer:

Cloud infrastructure is expensive. You won't find any free streaming platform.

The best route is to manage your own Playlist manually.

Workflow:

Interesting music playing on radio/party

-‐> shazam to know title and artist 

-‐> search youtube.com for that title and artist 

--> copy url of video that best matches 

--> paste url on ezmp3.cc for converting to audio 

--> await conversion, download generated audio 

--> Use a smart-mp3-tags app to add tags and album art automatically

Prons:

  • until now, i've paid $0 for music I listen to. Evil bastard, I know. I, however, have bought poweramp for $5. Best purchase yet.
  • you will find any music this way no matter how niche and weird it is. Unlike surfing the pirate ship
  • bonus: you most definitely will find your favorite audiobooks.

Cons:

  • no music discovery features. Which is truly the only downside you can't replace.
  • no backup in case of device loss, so you better make copies manually

Maybe pick a few radio stations you like.
I donated to rtrfm.com.au

There's a local non-profit station that plays the wildest stuff, and you never know what you're going to get. They play stuff I've never heard of about 70% of the time.

https://themoon.fm/

They're great! And free of course.

Funkwhale. But it is hard to find working instances. It is a part of the fediverse.

[–] JoeTheSane@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can’t be the only person who first read “Fuckwhale”

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That is a very different site.

Re: music transfer app

I quite liked Playlisty.

Relatively cheap and unlocked forever, unlike some who have IAP that are double the price and only allow full app access for a few weeks/month.

https://github.com/mostafaalagamy/Metrolist alternate youtube music app. youtube account recommended. no ads. frequent updates. oled support.

https://github.com/badmannersteam/murglar-downloads/releases desktop and droid app. supports russian stream services, deezer, soundcloud. no ads.

https://moddroid.com/apps/music/deezer-hq/ cracked deezer. no ads.

you can look around for cracked spotify or other cracked stuff on the mobilism forums, but spotify sometimes bans those cliens, and might shadowban your account as well.

whatever you do, you gonna support the devil by choosing any mainstream music service. so keep using them for free and support the bands with money or going to concerts. discs are overrated, merch gives them low commission.

if you wait a few hours the "you should selfhost" comments will arrive.
